How does my child access their school email account?

Posted
Updated
Byadmin

There are two ways in which your child can access their school email account. These are:

  • On a computer by using Outlook through a web browser.
  • On a tablet or smartphone by downloading an app and configuring their email on it.

Accessing on a computer (via a web browser)

Go to the school website https://www.flhs.org.uk and from the top menu hover over or click on Students, and then underneath the section ‘Student Apps’ click on Email.

A new page will load up in your web browser where your child will then be required to enter their school email account.

(Your child’s school email address is the username that they use in school to log on a computer followed by @flhs.wigan.sch.uk), then click on Next.

In the password field enter the password you your child uses to log on a computer in school, then click Sign In.

Your child’s school email account will now load and you will be taken to their inbox.

Accessing on a mobile device (Android & Apple iOS)

If your child has an Android or Apple iOS device they can get their email on these devices by downloading and installing the Microsoft Outlook app. Please click here for further information.

How Yondr Works

Frequently Asked Questions

We want our students to be engaged in their learning. A child at high school should not really have a reason to contact a parent during the day; however, if there is a genuine reason e.g. they have forgotten their packed lunch, a phone call can be made home from the school office. If a parent needs to contact their child in an emergency, they should contact the school office. If you need to contact your child during the school day, contact the main office on 01942 883796.

In case of a school emergency, we direct our students to safety first, following our school emergency procedures.

 

Students are in possession of their phone - in their Yondr pouch - for the entire school day. We will advise students to store the pouch safely in their school bag or blazer pockets.

If a student damages their Pouch or is caught on their phone, we will confiscate the phone and issue a sanction which is likely to be a suspension.

Note: Damage consists of any signs that the physical integrity of the pouch has been compromised, whether intentional or unintentional, as determined by the school or Yondr staff.

Damaged pouches will be charged to parents at a cost of £20.

They will be searched and wanded with a handheld scanner by a member of SLT. If they are found to have their phone on their person they will be expected to place it in their pouch. Refusal will be met with suspension.

If a student forgets their Pouch, their phone will be confiscated.

As per our previous mobile phone policy;

  • Confiscated phones will be taken to reception where the phone will be secured in the school safe.
  • Parents will be alerted to the phone confiscation via the school office.

Parents will have the option to collect the phone at the end of the day. If parents do not collect the phone, the phone will remain in school until the end of the week or until the student has their pouch.

In Yondr’s experience, this almost never happens. All students funnel past the unlocking stations at the exits, they want their phones back and don’t forget to unlock their pouches. If they do arrive home with a phone in a pouch, they can either come back to school to unlock it, or have a phone free evening!

The unlocking process is quick and takes under a second per student. 

As a privilege, Year 11 will be able to unlock their phones as they go off site at lunchtime; however, they will be expected to put their phones back into their pouches when they return to school for period 5.

Yes. There is an adapted version of the pouch which uses a Velcro fastener instead of a magnetic lock. This means the student still follows the policy, but the adapted pouch gives them easy access to their phone when required. If the student abuses this, they will face a sanction. We are already aware of these students.
